Lato-Lato Toy Found Hanging on Cable Goes Viral Online
The traditional lato-lato toy found hanging on a cable goes viral and elicits various reactions from the online community.
In the world of traditional Filipino games, “lato-lato” holds a special place. It is a game that requires skill, coordination, and a sense of fun.
However, a recent photo shared on Twitter by Jilson Tiu has sparked curiosity and amusement among netizens. The image captured a lato-lato hanging on a cable, as if someone had grown tired of playing and simply left it there.
Jilson Tiu’s caption added a humorous touch, suggesting that the lato-lato had grown weary. This whimsical interpretation drew various responses from netizens who couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. Some joked, “lato lato sa langit” while others speculated that the player’s hands might have been too exhausted to continue.
According to DTI Undersecretary Ruth Castelo, they will begin confiscating lato-lato toys. The reason behind this decision is the lack of a certificate of product notification, which is necessary for the legal sale of toys.
The DTI’s move has sparked mixed reactions among the public. Some argue that lato-lato is a traditional game that has been played by generations and carries cultural significance. They believe that it shouldn’t be subject to strict regulations.
On the other hand, there are those who support the DTI’s decision, emphasizing the importance of safety standards and quality control for toys.
Lato-lato is a simple yet enjoyable game that involves skillfully hitting a small ball, usually made of rubber, with a wooden stick. It is often played by children in the streets, fostering social interaction, physical activity, and friendly competition.
The game’s charm lies in its simplicity and accessibility, requiring minimal equipment and providing hours of entertainment.
